Traditionally the festive season is when we go big. Bulk buying food, doubling down on socialising, enjoying more treats and sweets than we usually would, and embracing excess from every angle. As a result, the end of the year can feel jam-packed with excessive indulgence, excessive spending and excessive spending and excessive stress. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Now’s the time to turn the tables on excess … and go small.
Read on for refreshing ideas that will deliver on mini doses of cheer throughout the holiday period.
Make small acts of kindness
- Jump at any opportunity to say thank you, tell friends, family and colleagues what you appreciate about them, and dish out compliments wherever you can – even to strangers. A few nice words will undoubtedly make someone’s day.
- Shout a few fellow customers a coffee at your favourite cafe, let someone in front of you at the grocery store, or simply offer to return their trolley for them.
- Whip up some homemade baking (check out these recipe ideas) and share whatever you cook up. Everyone loves some treats that have been baked with love.
Share small thoughtful gifts
- Offer practical help, such as assisting with household tasks, running errands, or spending quality time together. Acts of service like these show your care and strengthen your connections.
- Share a Rockit family pack. This is the perfect grab-and-go goodness for the whole family to enjoy during the busy time of year.
- Get crafty and create something special – it could be homemade decorations, a drawing, or some other creative artwork.
Enjoy small healthy treats
- A tube of delicious and nutritious Rockit™ apples is the perfect healthy stocking stuffer and a great option for a Secret Santa gift.
- Mix up your own healthy rocky road. This delicious Rockit Rocky Road recipe is naturally dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free, high in protein and full of fibre.
- Make festive bliss balls. These Rockit™ Apple Bliss Balls are a flavourful and sweet way to rock your tastebuds.
Remember, the best things come in small packages! So, make this the year you turn the tables on excess, and spread the bite-sized bits of joy far and wide. 🍎⚡️
